Really? Simulating a transmission has been tried a few times over the last decade, but it's flopped repeatedly as just silly. It's not likely to impress Ferrari buyers.

The only successful vehicle which has that is a driver-training car built in China. It's electric, but has a clutch pedal and shifter which are inputs to the software. You can even "stall the engine".[1]

Hyundai Ioniq 5 N nailed it perfectly.

I think by simulating a transmission you mean those internal combustion engined cars with CVT transmissions. Those are terrible yes.
